From Our CEO To You

To Our Valued Customers and Friends: Trade tensions and tariff wars….New worries for American agriculture. There is little doubt that the US has been taken advantage of by our trading partners around the world for many years, and most especially, by the Republic of China. It is very unfortunate however, that American agriculture is shouldering more than its fair share of the burden, especially our soybean, beef and pork producers. Hopefully, trade talks between China and the US are fruitful, trade resumes and the grains resume the solid upward trend that was in place prior to the announcement of trade tariffs in early June. One would hope this all could happen by the time harvest wraps-up later this fall, but who knows.
